Nature
Monmouth Mountain, or Mount Monmouth, is the highest peak in the Chilcotin Ranges, rising 3,182 metres in the Pacific Ranges of southern British Columbia. It stands north of the Lillooet Icecap between the headwaters around Chilko Lake and the Taseko Lakes, with Mount Good Hope and the Mount Queen Bess massif prominent in the surrounding skyline. The mountain takes its name from HMS Monmouth, a British armoured cruiser sunk at the Battle of Coronel in 1914 off South America. Nearby Mount Good Hope recalls HMS Good Hope, lost in the same battle, linking these peaks to a shared naval history.
